What if I already have a positive TB test?
If you have a history of a positive skin-test, you won't ever need to have a SKIN TEST again. You will need to have a Chest X-Ray, and submit the interpretation report, along with an Annual TB Health questionnaire completed by your provider. Chest x-ray evidence is good for three years, but you still have to submit the Annual TB health questionnaire paperwork every 12-months to be current.
